@Shortbread personally I've love a reimagining of the first game and story with Infamous 2's power set. Tossing cars around was just amazeballs, but nothing tops the first game's story for me.

Infamous Second Son was my first Platinum. I really enjoyed it and hadn't played anything like it on PC at that point in time. I also liked that it used the DS4 touchpad and speaker and the rumble was amazing to me having not had anything similar on the PC.I loved that game too, finished it (which means something to me) and I also really enjoyed Festival of Blood. In fact I think I finished all of them? It's been a while now though!
In the destruction video from First Light above you half expect Spiderman to swing by and stop her
The game was defintely a highlight for me and is what kept me on the PS.
No doubt. But higher quality materials/assets would scale better with higher resolutions. Maybe a good 4K (or higher) texture pack update.
Actually Control on the PC became my substitute for Infamous. Lots of similarities between them.

Second Son is also one of the very few games I got a platinum for. I finished both karma playthroughs then realised I was shy about four trophies. Then 20 minutes alter, platinum.
SAME! First ever platinum!
Detail wise, it does hold up, but the lighting js positively PS3. After the whole industry has learned to do proper lighting, PBR and tonemaping, its hard to go back... Infamous 1 looks posetively DRAB all of the time. The 2nd one in New Orleans was more pleasing to the eye though.
The big ‘next gen thing’ about Second Son, at the time, was those insane particle effects which I had personally never seen before.

Im talking about SS. The lighting was the biggest next gen thing about it
Oh yes, forget what I said. I thought you meant the ps3 games. Thar one does indeed hold up. It still boggles me how this year 1 game still looks better than many titles releasing now.

The first two infamous games always looked the epitome of the worst of 7th gen to me. Low resolution brown muddy messes with constant pop in and performance issues(especially the first one) Not sure how you fix that without remaking the entire games themselves.
For me compared to sonys other first party studios with the ps3(nd with uc 2 and 3, santa monica with god of war 3 and ascension, guerilla with killzone 2 and 3 ect) sucker punch absolutely felt like they had the worst growing pains with the cell architecture and ps3 development in general compared to their ps2 and ps4 work.

When I did my recent playthrough I thought the same thing. Gorgeous game indeed.
It started to really come together with the Festival of Blood DLC, that looked pretty great already. But yeah second son and the stand-alone DLC for that was great too, maybe even better.
I think we mentioned it before but this game has some pretty interesting overlap with the Spider-Man games, and in some aspects this game was cooler, with the particle effects and the physics based explosions etc.
At the beginning of every generation we have some titles that seem to do staff that arent much done by later games.
It is indeed very interesting how well Infamous holds up to this day still.
